Class Description

The non-linear phase tap changer describes the non-linear behaviour of a phase tap changer. This is a base class for the symmetrical and asymmetrical phase tap changer models. The details of these models can be found in IEC 61970-301.

Attributes

Name Type Description
voltageStepIncrement PerCent The voltage step increment on the out of phase winding (the PowerTransformerEnd where the TapChanger is located) specified in percent of rated voltage of the PowerTransformerEnd. A positive value means a positive voltage variation from the Terminal at the PowerTransformerEnd, where the TapChanger is located, into the transformer.
When the increment is negative, the voltage decreases when the tap step increases.
xMax Reactance The reactance depends on the tap position according to a “u” shaped curve. The maximum reactance (xMax) appears at the low and high tap positions. Depending on the ā€œuā€ curve the attribute can be either higher or lower than PowerTransformerEnd.x.
xMin Reactance The reactance depend on the tap position according to a “u” shaped curve. The minimum reactance (xMin) appear at the mid tap position. PowerTransformerEnd.x shall be consistent with PhaseTapChangerLinear.xMin and PhaseTapChangerNonLinear.xMin. In case of inconsistency, PowerTransformerEnd.x shall be used.
